The existing systems are either an electronic energy meter or an electro-mechanical meter which are
currently in use is limited to record up to kWh units. The kWh units recorded by meter readers monthly, on foot which
need to be processed by a meter reading company. For processing the meter reading, company needs to link each
recorded usage data to the particular account holder and then determine the amount owed by means of the specific tariff
in use. A GSM based Energy meter with instant billing facility is introduced is efficient, but still the problem of missing
SMS will degrade the accuracy and performance. A more reliable and user friendly system by creating web portal for
multiple access using the advanced Visual studio .net frame work which will manage the data efficiently even if there is
loss of SMS. It makes the design different from the previous proposals and also increases the throughput. The
GSM/GPRS channel is a very useful means of communication as sending data as SMS turns out to be a very handy tool,
due to its good area coverage capability and cost effectiveness. The front end web portal is User friendly and any
employee with minimum knowledge of computers can work on this software.
